Oath of the Gatewatch has found its way to the Grand Prix Circuit. The first of three limited Grand Prix to feature the latest set took place in Nagoya, Japan. After the dust settled on the largest draft ever - 96 concurrent pods - only one remained. Tomonori Hirami was that one, taking out Ryota Takeuchi's black-red deck with his white-green weapon. Congratulations to, your Grand Prix Nagoya champion!
Grand Prix Nagoya gave us our first glimpse into what limited may look like next week at the Pro Tour in Atlanta. With two more Grand Prix champions crowned today, we will get a few more looks some of the potential best strategies for draft.
